Does the seller or the buyer have the right to annul the contract through the option of the session (khiyar al-majlis) after selling fruit whose ripeness has not appeared, on the condition of it being cut, and the buyer having cut it, while they are both still in the contract session?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The buyer's disposal of the sold item, such as cutting a fruit, is considered an acceptance of the sale and forfeits their right to the option. The seller's option is forfeited if they are aware of this and approve it; otherwise, their right to the option remains. The buyer's disposal without the seller's permission is considered invalid, and the seller has the right to claim compensation from them.
